NORMAN, Oklahoma – Challenging conditions including a lightening delay pushed the No. 15 University of Arkansas men’s golf team down the leaderboard in round two of the 2018 NCAA Norman Regional Championship at Jimmie Austin Golf Course on Tuesday.

Players battled winds gusting from 13 miles per hour up to 32 miles per hour throughout the day and were delayed more than an hour near the end of the round after lightening occurred in the area.

The Razorbacks slipped from a tie for second place on Monday into 10th place in second-round action.

The top five teams from each of six regional sites move on to the NCAA Championship later this month.

Arkansas is just eight shots back of the cutline with one round remaining.

Senior Alvaro Ortiz shaved three shots off his round one total moving up two spots on the leaderboard.

He finished the day 1-under shooting a 71 with three birdies and two bogeys.
